Fed Ex and the USPS have the best records for me. Fed Ex has been late a number of times on "guaranteed delivery time", the USPS has never been late.
Fed Ex lost zero; USPS has lost a couple... likely mis-deliverys thrown away or kept by an idiot.
I think the junk mail is responsible for a lot of mistakes.
Too much fiddling with oversized flyers for the carriers and a great possibility of something like a postcard getting lost inside loose pages of un-bound/un-secured multi-sheet/folded ads.
I get mail with the correct numerical address, but wrong street name all the time. Usually with a hefty load of junk mail.
Once every other month I'd say I'm knocking on a door with a bill in hand.
